Zach Clark - Robin Eggs are Blue, Sea Turtles Bury Their Eggs in the Sand [excerpt]

Although I wasn't at the first instalment of this new monthly series, I was at the gig where Nick Buligan and Lisa Conway fiddled with their Max patches and joked that there should be a night called "Troubleshooting" that involved realtime laptop improvisations — and a chance for musicians to gather together and deal with the attendant problems of getting them to work in performance. Now happening on the regular, the night gives a chance for musicians to share their experiments in MAX/MSP and PD — and in the case of this set, SuperCollider, which Zach Clark (also of Mirrors) was working with. There were some electroacoustic elements and live radio manipulations, but the bulk of the set (as heard here) came as slowly-unfolding oscillation curves.
